The Equity Collective is a non-hierarchical collaboration and project. We embody honesty and non-violence to support the thorough investigation of social inequity. Through collaboration across discipline, partners commit to the dismantling of harmful social structures and the creation of a society that practices radical inclusion.

“This workshop allowed for so much connection between the personal and the structural. I appreciated being able to have this conversation without being bogged down in guilt and frustration. This was structured so that we could all engage with the topic, even if we are all in different places.”
-Participant, ZSF General Hospital, San Francisco, CA

“Gave people the freedom to be themselves and that they would not be judged–created a safe and welcoming space; and that everyone has a different truth that they come from. Made for an open conversation.”
–Director of Training, University of Illinois, School of Nursing, Chicago, IL

It made me have a different perspective in a safe environment, and actually have some understanding of how so many people live their life every single day just because of the colour of their skin. This experience has stayed with me, and it made my own privilege so so clear.
-Kayla Law, Yoga Teacher, Vancouver, BC

Collaboration

Bridging a number of methodologies and your input, TEC use a framework that explores both internal and external oppression. We work to examine recurring patterns individually and internally, as well as externally through interpersonal relationships, policy, and interrelated structures in society.

Immensely articulate, passionate and committed to this work, Dia effectively upgraded both the workshop team and its leadership. I recommend her without hesitation.”-Tim Jones, Head of Strategy and Placemaking, Futurecity, UK
